Before you dismiss _all_ those unwashed hippies as bums....you might want to read the Steve Jobs Biography.

That boy was a certified hash smoking, LSD taking, shower avoiding, music loving, anti-war product of the 60's..and he did Ok for himself and society.And...he had a WFO in his home kitchen a loooong time ago.

I jus sorta never picture Hippies as being beggers that's all....Peace man.

Me neither...but it seems that people's views of the 60's culture seems to depend on what side of the political fence they swing on.

I'm happy to have been there , and a part of when Janis Joplin played a small local rock club, when we went down to the record store to get the _new_ Beatles , or Doors album, when Elvis was thin, Jerry Garcia could still sing, Nixon was shown the door, the pill was invented , women became Women, and when Neil here walked on the moon.
